1
Human Uses of Viruses
2
Vaccines – injecting a person with a dead or weakened virus
Use the virus against itself
3
Vaccines stimulates body to produce cells and proteins that will kill the virus if it reenters the body
4
Vaccines Examples – small pox, polio, measles
5
Smallpox
6
Smallpox
7
Smallpox
8
Smallpox vs. Chickenpox
9
Genetic Engineering
10
Genetic engineering Viruses can sometimes pick up host cell genes and carry them into other cells Correct genetic defects by using viruses to take the genes to the cells
11
Boy in the Bubble David Vetter lacked enzymes needed for immune system to function
12
severe combined immunodeficiency
Genetic Engineering A virus can be used to insert a corrected gene into their body cells severe combined immunodeficiency
13
Agriculture Use viruses to control pests that destroy crops
14
Agriculture Use viruses for stripes and colors in flowers
15
Kingdom Monera
16
Kingdom MONERA – all prokaryotes (bacteria)
17
Structure
18
Cell membrane and cell wall – hold the cell together, protect and support, control what goes in and out
19
Slime capsule – sticks them to whatever they live on, protects them
20
Nuclear area – single wad of DNA
21
Plasmids – small pieces of DNA that are not part of the main DNA
22
Ribosomes – where proteins are made
23
Flagella – whip-like tail used to move (bacteria are poor movers)
24
Classification Very difficult because of small size
25
Monera Archaebacteria Eubacteria
So different that many scientists have them as two separate kingdoms
26
Archaebacteria – “ancient bacteria”
Methanogens Thermophiles Halophiles
27
Methanogens – live in oxygen-free environments and produce methane
28
Methanogens Digestive tract of cows, swampy areas, sewage
29
Thermophiles – “heat lovers”
30
Thermophiles Live in thermal vents and hot pools
31
Halophiles – “salt lovers”
32
Halophiles Live in Great Salt Lake or Dead Sea Great Salt Lake
33
Eubacteria – “true bacteria”, live in less harsh conditions, found everywhere
E. coli Salmonella
34
Subclassification Food source, shape, cell arrangement….
35
Food source Autotroph – can make their own food Example:
blue-green bacteria
36
Food source Heterotroph – get their food from some other organism
37
Shape – 3 basic shapes Coccus Bacillus Spirillum
38
Coccus – “Berry” shaped, spherical
39
Streptococcus Strep throat
40
Bacillus – “rod” shaped, like a hotdog
41
Lactobacillus Lactobacillus
42
Spirillum – spiral shaped
43
Cell arrangement
44
Diplo- in pairs
45
Strepto – in chains
46
Staphylo – in a cluster (like grapes)
47
Tetrad – a group of 4 coccus bacteria
48
Sarcina – group of 8 coccus bacteria in a cube like arrangement
49
What is the shape and cell arrangement?
50
What is the shape and cell arrangement?
51
What is the shape and cell arrangement?
52
What is the shape and cell arrangement?
53
Others
54
Gram stain An extra layer in gram negative prevents many antibiotics from entering the cell positive negative
55
Slime capsule?
56
Flagella?
57
What they eat
